Luckily, there are many ways to reach out and show your partner that they still have that “thing” and that you love them.

Here are 25 ways to show your love…

Create a list of things you know about your partner. Their favorite color, foods, activities. Where they grew up. Etc. This will impress your partner and show them you’ve been paying attention.

1. Express it Verbally

There are many ways to say “I love you” verbally. You can simply look deep into your significant others’ eyes and say those three little words. Or you can use analogies when expressing your love if you’re not wanting the mood to be so serious. For example, take your partner’s hands in yours, look them in the eyes and say, “I love you like a fat kid loves cake!”

2. Use Poetry

Copy a poem from some of the greatest authors such as Elizabeth Barrett , Lord Byron , or Emily Dickinson. Or write your own original poem in any form directly from your own heart. Leave it for your partner by the coffee pot before you leave for work, or put it in their briefcase or lunchbox. Write the poem in lipstick on the bathroom mirror.

3. Massage

Touch is powerful. Especially when it is done slowly and sensually. Take your partner’s hands and rub and massage them. Take your time on each body part

Kiss playfully or deeply with the kind of passionate kiss that makes the toes curl. Kissing is a great way to say “I Love You!”
